Buyer Evaluations

My husband, Bill, was a helicopter pilot, who flew in Vietnam and on the Delaware State Police. While he's retired now, he still has awesome memories from his flying days. When I saw the HELO TC remote-controlled helicopter being promoted on the internet, I quickly asked for one particular to review. I wanted my husband to attempt it and see if he would advocate it. He does, and so do I! I discovered it to be just as a lot enjoyable as he does!
Here's our take on the product:
1. It really is tiny (about 8" extended), lightweight (1.4 oz - I weighed it on my Weight Watcher's scale!), and takes up pretty little space to retailer or to use. We can "fly" in the home, as lengthy as the dog is shut up in her crate!
two. It's flexible. We've had a number of crashes, but no damage. It really is built on a lightweight metal frame with a black polycarbonate physique, and it bounces especially well!
3. It really is fairly painless to learn to use. I say pretty given that you have to run the throttle as properly as the joystick at the very same time. It gets tricky, but my pilot husband had it flying about the space in no time at all. For me, it took a bit longer to find out the controls. (There is a different mode - Tilt to Steer - that just makes use of the iPhone, but it's not almost as fun and challenging.) My only complaint is that the directions for flying the HELO TC are in the app itself and not written in the paperwork that comes with it. It really is not fun to have to quit the HELO TC to read directions. I recommend they add these directions in PDF format to their webpage to be downloaded.
4. It was very easy to put together and begin playing. Our HELO came currently charged (It charges with USB power source.) on the other hand, the literature says it charges in 35 minutes. The Flight Deck module is powered by four AAA batteries. We took every thing out of the box, followed the directions for downloading the HELO TC app, and attached the Flight Deck to the iPhone. At most, this took 15 minutes. The helicopter was already together. We just had to take it out from its box and then read the directions for getting started. It took about 20-30 minutes to have it up and operating with some self-confidence.
five. It's a very good worth at $49.99. The app is free of charge.
6. It really is a exclusive gift that your pilot friends and wanna-be-pilot friends will delight in for a extended time. I assume they will don't forget this one particular!
7. Is it for kids - no, in all probability not. This is a delicate electronic toy and would not withstand the abuse a young youngster would give it. Save this one particular for your mature users.

You need to have to take into consideration the audience for this "toy." It really is teens and adults... It requires ability. Younger youngsters will not have the patience to discover to fly this. Parents with unreasonable expectations, please maintain your wallet firmly guarded. It will break if you fly it into walls, tables, book shelves, peoples heads or your Christmas tree. Use widespread sense. It is not intended for outdoor use. I have enjoyed mine extremely much. Yes, I have crashed and no, I have not broken components.
